PERFORMS WITH WORDLESS ORCHESTRA APRIL 20 IN TORONTO AND APRIL 22 IN MONTREAL
Nathaniel Rateliff celebrates the life and work of Leonard Cohen, performing with the 40-piece Wordless Orchestra for two very special shows, in Toronto on April 20 at Roy Thompson Hall and in Montreal on April 22 at Salle Wilfrid Pelletier.
Tickets will be available for artist presale with code “COHEN” on Wednesday, February 28 beginning at 10 AM local time, followed by local presale the following day at the same time. General on-sale begins Friday, March 1 at 10 AM local time, find tickets here.
The Canadian shows will closely follow Rateliff’s highly anticipated performances of A Night of Leonard Cohen with the Colorado Symphony for their Imagination Artist Series, taking place at Denver’s Boettcher Concert Hall on April 5 and 6. All performances will feature support from pianist Phil Cook, the virtuosic folk musician and frequent collaborator of Rateliff’s.
One of the most fascinating and enigmatic singer/songwriters of the late ‘60s, Leonard Cohen developed a massive following across six decades of music-making, interrupted by various digressions into personal and creative exploration, all of which have only added to the mystique surrounding him. A master wordsmith with a voice like aged whiskey and lyrics that cut to the core of humanity, Cohen’s artistry transcends generations, weaving tales of love, longing, and spirituality that continue to resonate. Denver singer and songwriter Nathaniel Rateliff joins the Wordless Orchestra, blending his folk, Americana, and vintage rhythm & blues influences with Cohen’s timeless lyrics for a collaboration six decades in the making. From Hallelujah to Suzanne, witness the power of songwriting to touch the deepest recesses of the soul.
Nathaniel Rateliff & The Nightsweats are currently on tour across Canada with City and Colour, with a show this evening in Moncton at Avenir Centre and one tomorrow night in Halifax at Scotiabank Centre.
